1.5 – How does a person’s bladder and bowel affect their life?

Please note that as of 6th June 2023, the Association for Continence Advice (ACA) has now changed its name to the Association for Continence Professionals (ACP). Some of the videos included in this module will still have the ACA branding, and we can confirm that these videos are still current.

We interviewed two people, ‘Susan’ who has stress incontinence and lives with urinary continence and ‘Anne’ who has multiple sclerosis and lives with both urinary and faecal incontinence.

In this video they describe how being incontinent affects their lives.

You will meet ‘Susan’ and ‘Anne’ again later on in the course.
